1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2014

Vehicle would stall at random while driving. Mechanics at Ford advised that it was relay wire or harness wires for the airbag sensors that ran through the fuel tank were corroded or shorted out. They reported that the engineers at Ford made a bad call when they decided to run the wires through the fuel tank, which in turn resulted in me having to dish out 1500 bucks for the repair. This issue occurred multiple times prior to the repair on a truck with less than 53000 miles at the time, between during March or April of 2014 when I first purchased the used truck. Lost all power at various speeds and on several road types including highway, highway service road, residential street and farm to market road, while going strait and during turns, after multiple events and having put less than 1000 miles on it, I took it up to Ford. Grateful that no accidents occured during the episodes I experienced. I was able to cometo a stop, place the truck in park and restart it. Ttince the repair no issues. Love the f series pick ups and have owned several over a span of 18 years and its all my dads company uses. I know its been almost 4 years since having the issue but felt like I needed to say something to at least give others a head up or warning. Never set well with me. I still have the repair paperwork if needed.

2 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 11/24/2010

The passenger airbag disabled light turns on and off when a 108 pound person is sitting correctly in the front passenger seat. We recently took the vehicle into tuttle click Ford in irvine for inspection. They said that there where no error codes so they are unable to determine the problem and are not attempting to replace any sensors because Ford motor company will only reimburse them if a problem is diagnosed. The service advisor claims this can happen when going over bumps which is obviously nonsense. The vehicle was returned to us without being fixed. This is a 10 month old vehicle with 3550 miles.
